I love Ritchie Blackmore’s playing…he gets it…because I always believe that you have keep the “blues” in your playing which he definitely does. I appreciate his creativity and work because he was able to do that right smack in the middle of the metal/rock era. IMO, guys like Yngwie and Steve Vai (and countless other guitarists) are just shredders…yeah, they can light it up and play fast but when I hear their playing; I just “feel” nothing. One of my all-time favorite guitarists was Stevie Ray Vaughan and his song “Life With Out You” features 2 superb guitar solos. His version from the “Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985” cd is the best; but this performance from 1987 is pretty good. First solo: 3:05 Second Solo: 8:09 While I openly worship Jimi Hendrix (he’s the reason I even picked up a guitar); I have to say that Stevie was about the only player who “got” what Hendrix was trying to do. I used to say that Stevie played Hendrix better than Hendrix played Hendrix. Both men were phenomenal and adeptly mixed blues, rock and other music together in their playing. Also, both men sadly, never lived long enough to fulfill almost endless potential.

Joe Satriani's "Starry Night" from the above album. Spent many an evening trying to nail this song on guitar... http://youtu.be/JQA4359xbkA

LMAO! Well luckily I've been divorced for 10 years and I am single and live by myself...so the benefits are that I have the freedom and all the time to do baseball game modding. BTW that last phrase goes over REAL well in the singles bars out here in the Hollywood area. :crazy:

LOL! Well at least I haven't got bored enough to remove the existing audio track and make the video with my own dance/stripper music remixes. Might have time later in the week. :db:

*sob* *sob* Y4L is right about the reality dose...and you are correct too Rroy...I gues I'll have to be content to play the Cat Daddy video on repeat and with the sound down on the 2nd monitor while I play games. Oh wait, am I the only one who does that? :rofl:

That's definitely a nice sentiment musty and it is appreciated...but instead of any Paypal donation...could you just arrange a date with this girl for me? Really...just one date/night would be just bueno!

LOL! I'll vote for that. :good:

Hey thank you Don for the heads-up. I will through my TC installs and verify if Ernie Banks is announced by the Legends. I will keep you up to date with my findings.

Thanks very much for all of your information Jim. As usual, your assistance made everything work perfectly. I went through and changed the audio in TC 1951-1967 and updated Mantle's portraits. Checking through each TC mod, I now have the Legends announcing "Mickey Mantle" as it should be. Thank You!! -Dennis

Jim, I wanted to correct myself...Mickey Mantle's original Audio ID # in TC 1951-1967 (my versions) is 7562. I stated 7526 in a previous post. :good:

Hey thanks for responding Homer. So, I cannot get the “Legends” to say Mantle’s name in Total Classics 1951-1967. I installed the Legends audio mod manually and Mantle's audio seems to be the only problem. According to Jim, it sounds as if the newer versions of the TC 1951 or 1956, for example would have Mantle with a new/updated audio id # rather than the standard 7562. If I had access to the updated audio files or a new and working ID #; I should be in business and I can make the change in the TC 1951-1967 mods. -Dennis

Hey There Jim, Thanks so much for your information. Your explanation makes a lot of sense and I had confirmed on all of my Total Classics installs from 1951-1967; Mantle’s audio/portrait ID is 7526 as you stated. My versions of these Total Classics installs are from a couple years back and because I had heavily modded my installs; I never downloaded and used the newer ones with OTBJoel’s Legends mod. What I did was manually drop his audio mod into my installs and pretty much everything worked great until I discovered the Mickey Mantle error last night. If Mantle does indeed have a different audio/portrait ID (in the newer TC installs), could you provide the number? Or could you ZIP the working audio files (with the Legends announcing) that are working for you and send them to me. I’m not sure which would be the best solution; but I’m sure one these ideas would work. Thanks again Jim. -Dennis

Hey Guys, I can't believe I finally got around to noticing this; but I do not have "player-name" audio for Mickey Mantle when he comes to bat in Total Classics 1951-1967. I have OTBJoel's superb "Legends From the Booth" mod installed on all of these TC Mods but his name is never spoken. I checked out my TOtal Classics 10 install (without the Legends mod) and I do hear the Kiper/Krukow announcement of his name. Can anyone else confirm this? If so, I would appreciate any help. I can't believe that I never paid attention to this and Mantle is one of my all-time favorite players. Dennis
